The Print Screen key doesn't print directly to the printer. When you push
Print Screen it places a copy of the screen on the clipboard. You can open
Word, Paint, WordPad, etc and paste in the contents of the clipboard. Then
you can edit if you wish, and print.

The clipboard is concept. When you put something into the clipboard
(Menu: Edit/Copy, ctrl-C, PrtScn, etc.) the contents of the selection go
into memory. You bring it back by pasting it to where the cursor is by
pressing Menu: Edit/Past or ctrl-v). Whatever the "thing" is (text or
graphics), it has to be able to be received by the receiving program,
e.g. you can't paste graphics into Notepad.

Once things in the clipboard, you can view the contents by running the
small program clipbrd.exe. Read "help" in that program for more about
the clipboard, and how to use thes viewer program.

The concept of a clipboard is at the heard of Windows. Other OS's have
these concept.

You can open

Once you paste the text or graphics into WordPad, (described above), you
then use WordPad's save, print, or whatever function.

Go to this page and download a program called Printkey 2000
http://www.webtree.ca/newlife/printkey_info.htm

After it is installed, it will come up when you push the print key on your
keyboard and allow you to either make a copy of the entire screen or
whatever portion you like. You will also have options to change the colors
before printing which is helpful for webpages with black or colored
backgrounds.
